SOMB FIRU FACTS, Last week fire destroyed another Htiitding in H.-nd, this time beyond the reach of the water .system. II it had been discovered in time (in this case it was not) there would have been a splendid opportunity to iry out the new chemical engine and Ret some practice in its use However, no matter where the fire was or at what stage it was discov ered, the chemical engine could not have been used because it was not a working order and no one knew how to use it. Here are some fire facts. They interest every tax-payer and every property owner in Uend. The City paid $750 for the chem ical engine. In addUion there w. $79 freight charges, making a total of 839. The engine arrived 011 January 13, Yesterday after having beeu in Bend 30 days, the eugint was prqiarcd for use. Another matter. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have electric light in the hoe house, to eliminate de lay in getting out the equipment at uighl? And is'tit there some thing in the plan, freely discussed during the last two weeks by man) interested people, that rival hose companies be organized, electing their own officers and having com petitive drills? A postcript. Since the above was written the engine has been moved to Wall btreet, there to oc cupy a portion of a private store. This ccrtatnlv is a move in the right direction, for certainly it should be kept near the center ol town. But would it nof be better for the city to have its own quartets however small and temporary? The Portlaud Oregononiao solemnly avers that the Panama canal has its being "chicflv for naval and military purposes." A' a financial investment and an ave nue of commerce the canal will be n failure, declarrs that paper's editor ial solon. Whatever can be said for and against Hobson's choice of fortifying the big ditch it certainly is to be devoutly hoped that we are not expending that $400,000,000 merely for a military plaything. Those who ore developing Pacific Coast cities always have entertained a suspicion that the business they would give this great national waterway and the business it would give them, would come pretty near putting it on a paying basis, after u few years at least. electric sign in Bend. With our unlimited wntcr power for generat ing cheap tlrctricity it will uot be many years before Bend is one of the most brilliantly illuminated cities in the Northwest. So the House Committee finds that Peary missed reaching the actual pole by t.6 miles. Thais hard luck for the arctic command er.

Complaint is being made by homestead'-rs in the country to the southeast that a bad bill exists on a section line road near the McGill vray rajich. Apparantly a little labor might put this in good shape. The Commercial Club could well take steps to have the matter at tended to, either with local funds or by requesting county attention. Certainly Bend desires to offer every aid to the settlers in this ter ritory, and facilitate their trading at this point a fade which daily is growing in volume. Applications for Urazliir Permits.

For from the standpoint of Father Time, Bend is a veritable timeless Babel A city clock, placed over that fire apparatus bouse which ought to be built in an accessible location, and regulated every day by telephone with correct Western Union time would straighten matters out wonderfully. w Leave your subscriptions for All Magazines at the Library and let thut institution get the benefit. 00 YEARO EXPERIENCE ilZmJTH The prize competition of school pupil's exhibits to take place at the Central Oregon Fair this year, out lined elsewhere lu this paper, is a patter which should receive the at tention and support of every parent in the district.
